Seattle or Portland??

6/3/2008
My husband and I just found out that his job will be transferring him to either Seattle, WA or Portland, OR. Both of us have lived in Phoenix all our lives so this will be quite a change. I should add that we are looking forward to meeting new and different people and experiencing new things to do that will be different from Phoenix.
I have been to the Seattle area many times (my parent live on Whidbey Island)and I think it's an amazing city all-around. I lived in Eugene, OR for about 4 months when I was in middle school and while there, I visited Portland for about 2 days. It too was a beautiful place but it seemed to be a bit slower-paced and not as hustle and bustle as Seattle. I was 13 during this point so it's a bit hard to remember.
I think the people in both cities are so interesting and friendly for sure. I also think both places will bring something different to the table and will be really different from the southwest area where we currently live.
Can anyone offer any advice or help to help us with a decision? Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated. I should also add that I have 2 young kiddos so great schools are extremely important to us.
Thanks again!
